About the AI Private Banker

The AI Private Banker is Nubank's intelligent financial partner - an AI-powered advisor that helps millions of customers understand their finances, make confident decisions, and take action seamlessly. It is built on Nubank's proprietary foundation models and data infrastructure, developed by the AI Core team that joined Nubank through the Hyperplane acquisition. This is not a chatbot bolted onto a banking app.
